HORSE OWNER WEBINAR ALERT! 📢

Join us for the first Horse Owner Education Committee webinar of 2026! Our topic will be "Equine Dentistry – A Closeup Look Inside Your Horse’s Mouth."

If you've ever wondered what your veterinarian is looking for inside your horse’s mouth, this is your chance to find out! Learn what makes horse teeth unique and why oral exams and odontoplasty, or “floating,” are performed. We’ll also review what to expect during a dental appointment, common pathologies and diseases, and how dental management will often change as your horse ages.

Registration is FREE but required. A recording of the webinar will be available if you miss the live event. Register at: https://events.zoom.us/ev/Au79KIEGlUQNYp3MIwhImixtX96-V_4BY6zUczb-JyUAmnaMAMOO~AmWA7Q-adjl446fnk29Fr5TyD20L79wemxDsn628LwZjZ4BHVqqEh-rjTA

This informative session is brought to you by the AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee.

# # 🐴 Horse Care Tips for Icy Weather

While the ice lingers, keep these tips in mind to keep your herd safe:

* **Hydration is Key:** Horses often drink less when water is near freezing, which increases the risk of **impaction colic**. If possible, offer slightly warmed water ( to ) or add a splash of apple juice to encourage drinking.
* **Boost the Forage:** Digesting fiber creates internal heat. Provide extra hay during extreme cold to help your horse maintain its body temperature from the inside out.
* **Traction Control:** For high-traffic areas like gate openings or barn entrances, use **sand or wood shavings** to provide traction. Avoid using rock salt in areas where horses stand, as it can dry out and irritate their hooves.
* **Hoof Care:** Check hooves daily for "ice balls" or packed snow. These can make a horse’s footing uneven and increase the risk of slips or tendon strains.
* **Salt Intake:** Make sure your horse has access to a salt block or add a tablespoon of loose salt to their feed to stimulate their thirst.
* **Blanket Check:** If your horse is blanketed, ensure the blanket is **dry**. A wet blanket can actually make a horse colder than no blanket at all by flattening the hair coat and trapping moisture against the skin.

**Please stay off the roads if possible, and we look forward to seeing you safely this afternoon!**

Impactions are the most common cause of cold-weather colics but horses can develop any type of digestive upset at any time of year. Although impaction colics are most associated with winter weather, a horse can suffer from any type of colic any type of year, so it’s important to not take a “wait...
